*Official* 2022 New Zealand Tour of England, Ireland, Scotland & Netherlands

[Moss]

Congrats England! Will be interesting to see how the approach is calibrated vs India, but against this particular set of bowlers was a well calculated one. The bowling deserves plaudits too for never letting NZ run away with things. I’d say the additions to the bowling bench strength and Leach’s renewed confidence are the best outcomes in the longer term.

Root England MOTS for me. Just

It will be Bairstow

was this series worse than when alex tudor scoring 99 not out

That was a great series. The good guys won 2-1, but it could've been 4-0.

 

[StephenZA]

Congrats on Eng for a great performance... looking very much forward to the SA tour. Big litmus test for both sides I think.

To be fair, sound advice especially when NOT reading about cricket.

 

[Xuhaib]

Bairstow can still end up with 8k test runs @ 40 if he can carry this for couple of years

 

[slippy888]

i dont think many teams could chase over 280 in 3 test matches in a row in test history, thats why we have to question the bowling on display

 

[chris.hinton]

Root wins MOTS.....Excellent

Think it'll be Jonny.
They scored the same number of runs, but Jonnys runs influenced the outcome more.

 

[trundler]

Sincerely hope Bazball ends Hasan Ali's test career this winter.

We'd have lost the first two tests without Root's hundreds tbh.

And if we'd lost that first test this new team mullarkey might have been dead in the water before they'd set off

 

[ashley bach]

Stokes over pitching when he said nice to win 3-0 against the best team in the world.

Yeah fair points.
Thought it was very close and obviously all of Roots dropped catches got forgotten about very quickly.

greentops v an australian lineup with smith a long way off his 2019 form imo. very different proposition. god knows what englands bowling lineup will look like by that point tbh

of course he could go beast mode again between now and then

Ehh the aussie batting lineup is alot better than it was in that series. Head is in god mode vs pace bowling, green is a massive improvement over wade with the bat and marnus is a proven competitor in english conditions with the bat.

 

[CricAddict]

Interesting series. No shame for the kiwis to lose to a kiwi captain and coach though.

 

[ashley bach]

Congrats on Eng for a great performance... looking very much forward to the SA tour. Big litmus test for both sides I think.

Yeah this series should be a cracker, when is it scheduled?

 

[Howe_zat]

In this game England were 55/6 and then added 611/7
